The Junior Class of 1945 has had a busy year. They have participated in almost all school activities, besides giving an excellent Junior-Senior Prom, as well as one of the best Junior Plays ever to be produced here. To start the year, they elected class officers and planned their year’s activities. During football season they worked diligently to provide the school and townspeople with refreshments, by sponsoring and selling the concessions at all home foot- ball games. They gave two excellent dances, one following the Banning-Blythe game, and one following the Banning- Palm Springs game. Both dances were attended by students of both schools and the dances were greatly en- joyed. But when the football season was over in November, the activities of the class did not stop. In December they sponsored a paper drive. It was a contest between classes to determine which class could collect the most waste paper. In February they really got down to serious work so that their Junior Play would be a success. They gave two dress rehearsals, one for the Navy patients and one for the Grammar School. Then on February 16, came the big day. The Junior Class presented “Dirty Work at the Crossroads.” It was the old-fashioned type melodrama, and it was really a success. On March 2, came one of the great events of the year. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. It was given at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs and most of the students of both classes attended. After the dinner there was dancing in the Fiesta Room. The officers for the year were: President, John Malcolm; Vice-President, Jerry Strobridge; Secretary, Barbara Littleton; Treasurer, Victor Hansen: Advisor, Mr. Barnard. President 9 semesters

—— Jivey Jabberwocky We're ambitious and we're jolly and as friendly as can be, We've only one more year to go before we'll all be free, We look up to mighty Seniors, We look down on all the rest, We annoy the teachers crazy, till they think us just a pest, But there’s no obstacle around that our tribe cannot surpass, Cause we're great and almost mighty, Joyful Jesting We're the Jaunty Junior Class. Just ! Jubilant Jolly Jocular JACKS AND JILLS CLASS OF 46
